Great info. Thanks Mowerfreak!
One thing I am doing these days whenever I replace a freshly painted badge, I never use rivets. Whenever the damn things go "pop" they almost always jump and take off some paint from the badge or nearby base. I've resorted to using small bolts and screws instead. Maybe there are better quality rivet guns on the market that are more gentle on paint work? My el cheapo version is always hard on paintwork!
